TMC Transportation honors Copenhaver with Wheel Master Award

DES MOINES, Iowa, June 5, 2007 – TMC Transportation, a division of Annett Holdings, Inc., the largest privately-held flatbed carrier in the nation, honored TMC driver Bill Copenhaver with the highest driver honor given by TMC, the Wheel Master Award for 2006.

Copenhaver has been with TMC since November 1998. He was also recognized with the Driver of the Quarter Award for the fourth quarter in 2005. Copenhaver’s dedication to excellence and other outstanding qualities are what made him a perfect recipient.

“From day one he has always had a very professional attitude towards his fellow
co-workers, office staff and customers,” said Travis Johnson, executive vice president of operations. “He is always giving 110% effort day in and day out – basically doing it right the first time.”

TMC is honored to give Copenhaver this distinction. “Bill is a pleasure to work with,” said Todd Bunting, executive vice president of safety. “He represents TMC with pride in his equipment; operating it in a safe, professional manner day after day. On behalf of TMC, we appreciate his efforts!”

The Wheel Master Program was created as a way of recognizing TMC’s best drivers. Each year a driver is honored with the Driver of the Wheel Master distinction based on years of service with the company, safe driving record and overall quality performance.
